After you form an Oregon LLC, you may need to obtain a business license and/or permit for your company.
Your requirements are determined by the industry you are in and where your Oregon LLC is located.
Not complying with license and permit requirements usually results in penalties and fines.
Do it yourself research in Oregon
No State Business License
Oregon does not have a statewide general business license. Instead, licenses and permits are dictated by industry and profession, as well as the location of your LLC.
